You will be mainly home-based, carrying out activities around your other commitments and attending meetings either virtually or at The Rural Art Centre in Thirsk. As a guide we attend about four meetings per year and the Annual General Meeting.

This is an excellent opportunity to play an influential role in a respected local environmental organisation, applying your management skills and experience to make a real difference and to be part of a friendly and passionate group.
